CNN: A federal appeals court on Monday dealt a blow to Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, upholding a preliminary injunction blocking Indiana's effort to prevent resettlement of Syrian refugee families in his state.
The ruling from a three judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit held that there is "nothing to suggest that Indiana is a magnet for Syrians." The opinion, penned by Judge Richard Posner, is critical at times of the arguments put forward by the state noting that it "provides no evidence that Syrian terrorists are posing as refugees or that Syrian refugees have ever committed acts of terrorism in the United States."
